Sure does. Just finished off one of these. Root Beer float.

^My absolute favorite as a kid - at A&W Root Beer. Would save money all week for the Saturday trip to A&W.

A&W? There are about 5 outlets within half an hours drive from here . . . Root Beer floats! Those were the days

Ahh yeah man....Id return soda bottles to get money to have either an A&W Rootbeer Float or a Chocolate Shake(Made with real ice cream) from Foster Freeze....The shake was so thick you couldn't suck it up through the straw. Made the 3 mile bike ride on my 1 speed BMX bike worth it...

Found this little gem today at this liquor store I frequent that brings in special Tequilas, Scotch's, Bourbons etc. Love to walk the place. Has some $800 bottles of super rare Tequila, $1200 bottle of 35 year old Scotch, $2600 bottle of Cognac.



MoRTLACH Single malt. No age, Its called Rare Old.

Decided to try one of the samples from the Halal convention I attended the other day:

and the result ?

Not bad at all. I had one chocolate flavoured on which my youngest drank - 40/100. My wife tried the asli one and found 60/100 and I'd agree with her on the 60/100

It has a stronger taste, but not in a bad way . . . if you're into milk in a big way and look at research this may be ideal.

With triple the amount of vitamin C that cow milk has, and anti-colon cancer properties, camel milk is a healthier, locally sourced alternative, research by Dr Hosam Habib and Dr Wassim Ibrahim from UAE University shows.

Their study found the milk can also reduce hyper-tension when consumed in the form of laban, acting to inhibit the ACE enzyme which is responsible for the condition.

“It also has an insulin effect, so it is good for those with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes,” said Dr Habib, an expert in human nutrition.

“It has some protein with a molecular structure similar to insulin. People with diabetes will benefit from it.

“It can also be isolated to replicate insulin but it’s not been found in what quantities yet.”

Since 2010, the team has been analysing vitamins, minerals, fats and amino acids in camel milk.

“It has natural antibiotics like lac-toferrin, which keeps the milk fresh for longer and means bacteria cannot grow quickly like in cow milk,” said Dr Habib.

In tests, it took only one day for cow milk to go off, compared with four days for the camel milk.

“To make yogurt with cow milk takes four hours but not less than 10 to 12 hours with camel, proving it takes much longer for the milk to turn. It’s the closest thing to mothers’ milk,” said Dr Habib.

The team found that while cow milk is on average 3.5 per cent fat, camel has only 2.5 per cent.

Proponents of the paleo diet have long said humans should not drink cow milk, for reasons including its inflammatory properties.

“Because of this anti-inflammatory effect, [camel milk] can also prevent colon cancer,” Dr Habib said. “The anti-inflammatory effect is the anti-cancer effect.”

The team examined the functional properties of camel milk lactoferrin, the main iron-binding protein of the milk, which showed a 56 per cent decline in cancer growth when applied to cancer cells.

“Lactoferrin seems to have great potential in practical medicine,” Dr Ibrahim said. “The use of lactoferrin in combination with other milk components or drugs may be an increasing consideration.”

They also found that camel milk lactoferrin showed antioxidant activity and could prevent DNA damage by binding catalytic iron.

The Camel Milk Association says it can be digested by people with lactose intolerance, although Dr Habib disagrees.

“It’s still got lactose, though lower amounts, so it is still too much for someone with serious lactose intolerance.”

Camel milk has greater contents of other vitamins and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, zinc, iron and manganese.

It has been used to treat tuberculosis and other lung ailments in Russia, and tuberculosis, dropsy, jaundice and anaemia in India.

“It is very good for boosting the immune system,” said Dr Habib. “It’s also good for anti-ageing as the high levels of vitamin C protect collagen.”

Mutasher Al Badry, deputy general manager at Emirates Industry for Camel Milk and Products responsible for the brand Camelicious, says awareness to its benefits is growing.

I bet that gives them the hump.

^ prepare yourself for a red . . . bad humour is punishable by reds.

Had a couple of glasses of non alcoholic apple juice with my dinner Sunday , I would think the amount of sugar in the bloody stuff would do more damage than if it had alcohol in it !

castle creek red, it's Australian but cheap, then a bottle of disgusting leo, then started on meridian Brandy. Better stop before the mrs starts moaning.

Two cans of Barrel 51, Bourbon and Dry Cola. Added to second can a liberal amount of Teacher's Scotch whiskey. More healthy for the liver than drinking another sugar-laden RTD.
